  Delicious! I've been making these since I was young. I use scallion instead of onion and did not drain all the liquid from the salmon. That made the cakes moist. I also add a few dashes of my favorite hot sauce for a kick and some bread crumbs to help bind it. - 6/6/11

  These were very tasty! I pureed some red pepper and celery to add veggies, and ended up needing about a tbsp of bread crumbs to hold it together but it was a great recipe I will be making again. - 3/21/11

  Made this tonight and it was really good and quick. I added some instant potato flakes to hold it together but may try oats next time. - 10/7/09

  I get frozen wild Salmon and thaw it easily then bake it. Let cool. Break it apart, add seasoned bread crumbs, low fat sour cream and mayo, egg, onion and bell pepper. Mix well form patties and bake 4 minutes each side. - 9/24/08

  I love this recipe ! When I make it I use 4 Tbsp Simply egg whites instead of the egg and add sometimes chopped fresh dill for a change. - 9/9/08

  Mine held together fine - I did add a little Parmesan cheese to hold it together. I also used minced garlic as opposed to dried. Awesome recipe!! - 7/26/12

  Both my husband and I really loved the salmon cakes!! I made them with some stir fried green beans and mushrooms, and some asparagus with garlic salt on them! It was a perfect meal! Oh yeah, I also added some of the mushrooms into the cakes...delicious!!! - 9/16/08

  I`ve had these since I was a little girl and still make them like my mom. I use can salmon, an egg, and crushed saltines, and fry them in a small pat of margarine just for taste. Mmm good! - 1/13/13

  Can't wait to try these. I know that I will be using oats as a filler, and probably vidalia onion for sweetness and flavor. I have a can of crabmeat I've been waiting to use; so that's my plan. - 7/21/10

  This was absolutely delicious! I added a little bit of dill for flavor and some potato flakes for binding. I served it on a whole wheat bagel thin and topped the salmon cake with some avocado slices. It was so yummy I definitely have to make this again. - 7/20/10

  Like others have stated, you'll need to add some breadcrumbs or something to keep it all together. Other than that, it's a great recipe. Quick and easy. I put the leftover salmon cakes on an Alternative bagel in my lunch - 7/12/10

  I skipped the egg and added two tablespoons of organic Italian bread crumbs so it would hold together and add flavor. I also sauteed the onions in a tablespoon of olive oil before I added it to the salmon cake. I served it on a cup of corn and the combination was very tasty.

  Healthy and delicious. I had to modify slightly because I used the foil packages of salmon. I'm not really sure how that affected the nutrition totals. I add a little onion and some crushed saltines and my husband tops his with yellow mustard. - 2/5/11

  These were very tasty, I tried baking them and it worked well, also made some sauted in butter but the calories were much higher. The calories in the salmon are high, the bumble bee site lists 80 per 2.2 oz or 133 for 1/4 can instead of the 158 listed in the nutrition. - 12/4/14

  I´ve prepared this meal with other kind of fish too and it always works. Add any salad or some greens and you get a perfect meal.
  To hold it together I just add more egg and to fry it I use one sprays. I spray the oil on the pan and it works perfectly. :-)) - 12/14/09

  Traditionally fish cakes of any kind are made with mashed potato. I think I would like that better than oatmeal or crackers. Better texture. And don't forget some onion. - 9/21/08

  This recipe looks great. However, I will probably use dry rolled oats to keep the fish together. Also, since salmon is so expensive, will I use either a 12 ounce to 16 ounce can of mackeral or two 6 ounce cans of tuna. Will drain off the liquid first, so the cakes aren't so fishy. - 9/15/08
